Carter: 'My own communications are probably monitored'
Politico ^ | January 23, 2014 | B Eric Bradner

Posted on 03/23/2014 11:11:32 AM PDT by Jim Robinson

Former President Jimmy Carter says he corresponds with foreign leaders the old-fashioned way – through snail mail – because he suspects his communications are watched by intelligence agencies.

“I have felt that my own communications are probably monitored,” Carter said in an interview with Andrea Mitchell that was aired Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“And when I want to communicate with a foreign leader privately, I type or write the letter myself, put it in the Post Office and mail it, because I believe if I send an email, it will be monitored,” Carter said.

Hell, they know what’s on Carter’s mind before he writes it. They planted it there.

Ha-ha. Who wants to hear/read what that fool has to say? He already said that Obama doesn’t call him for advice and the rest of us stopped caring in 1977.

I was hoping the last time we’d hear from this guy was when the Bee Gees failed to make the hit parade. Evidently I was wrong.

In the days when you could pull the ribbon and read every word?

Then he put it in the "special" mail box. Then a spy got it, read it, resealed it and off it went. No problem Jimbo.

I dislike Jimmy Carter as much as anyone else here.

However, all joking aside, isn’t this news, that a former president believes that his e-mail and other communications are being monitored??

Clear follow up questions, such as who is monitoring him, and for what purpose, and what does he know about our government doing such things from his time in office, would be enlightening I’m sure.

Ditto.

BTW: Is it a rule that posts that mention Malaria and Sharia get pulled?

If a democrat can’t trust his own democrat government, who can he trust?

Still trying to inject himself into relevance for 35 years.

There is no way they would care what he is saying. Almost no one did, when he was in office, let alone 35 years later.

Good point. Jimmy is a good Democrat, being monitored by a good Democrat administration. This political angle is very interesting.

Well to be fair, if I were President I would have the commie monitored too.
